A FAULTY SCHEME.

| Mr.. Blaine's European Tour and Return
| Arranged Upon the Superstition That lie
| is 3 Great Man.
There is a measure of method in the
arrangements for Mr.. Blaine's Eu-
ropean tour that challenges admira-
ton. The fact that it is to be to some
extent an imitation of the Grant trip
of eight years ago in no wise detracts
from its value as an electioneering
scheme, though the signal failure of
the third term enterprise suggests a
doubt as to the availability of foreign
excursions with pyrotechnic accom-
paniments as medium of wheedling
American politicians into questionable
movements.
According to current rumors Senator
Hale will be the companion of the tat
tooed historian, and he will no doubt
serve as a sort of advance agent or
business manager of the enterprise.
They will depart some time during the
coming fall and travel through the va
rious interesting sections of continental
Europe and thence through Japan and
China, timing the return so as to ar
rive in San Francisco just about the
time the Republican National conven-
ton assemblies. The only departure
from the Grant programme is in the
time of arriving home. 1t is generally
admitted that Grant got back too soon.
In other words, that the period be-
tween the arrival at the Golden Gate
and the call of the roll for balloting in
the convention afforded time for re-
action in public sentiment.
The managers of the Blaine hippo
drome propose TO profit by the expert
ence of the third-termers. But they
miscalculate the effects of the tour I'M
less all signs fail The Grant trip was
attended by a series of ovations that
electrified the world, and when the
party arrived on the return public ex-
element had been worked up to high
pitch. The reaction was less the re-
suit of time than it was the impossible
ity of maintaining the high strain
which had been reached. 1t is not
likely lat Blaine's tour will be attend
ed with such demonstrations, and
when he returns it will be necessary to
create the enthusiasm that is expected
to boom him through the convention,
and that will take time. 1t would
seem. therefore. that the Blaine man.
ayers have made mistake in depart
ing from the model set by Grants
friends. Harrisburg Patriot

LEAVING BLAINE.

| The New York Tribune" lacking AWAY
from the "Magnetic Candidate" and the
Storms Which lie Carries with Him.
Mr.. Whitelaw Ried has taken the
trouble to repeat his crafty denial OF
knowledge of any letter from himself to
Murat Halstead indicating an inten-
ton to abandon Blaine and favoring
Sherman for the Presidency in 1888.
As the public well knows, Mr.. Reid
persists in denying the first story con-
corning this letter which gave the
name of Murat Halstcad as the re-
ceiver of the letter, which, according
to corrected account of the affair, was
addressed to Mr.. Halstead's partner,
Richard Smith, of the Cincinnati COM
nperciaI Gazette. Mr.. Halstead made
haste almost with profane heat to deny
that he had received any such letter,
and Mr.. Ried just as promptly declared
that he had not written any such letter
to Mr.. Halstead. But when the cor
rection was made and the name of Mr..
Smith was given as the man to whom
the fatal letter was addressed, did Dea-
con Richard Smith make haste with
curses and oaths to deny all knowledge
of it? Not much. He left Cincinnati
on business OPPORTUNITY to escape be-
ing interviewed.
But Mr.. Reid is not the only one
who is engaged in concealing the
truth about his abandonment of Blaine.
The Chicago Tribune with its usual
maladroitness in such matters, has
taken hand in the game. In its dis
patch purporting to give Mr.. Reds
official denial of the letter it sought to
make it cover the charge that he had
written letter to either Richard Smith
or Murat Halstead. of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, abandoning Mr..
Blaine and favoring John Sherman for
the Presidency in 1885," But the
wording of the New York Trfbune's
denial precludes its being interpreted
to cover the accusation of having
written such a letter to Mr.. Smith.
These are its words: The editor
of the Tribune knows of no such
letter, and the man who is
said to have received it has already
announced that he never got any such
letter. The Tribune expects to sup
port the nominee of the National con-
ven.ion." This is simply reiteranon
of the denial of the first charge. 1t

they walked on. Greater miracles had
happened. Yes, in that event Papillon
should keep his house, and under her
rule things would assume freer, mer-
rier tone. But as Marianne was with
out fortune it would be difficult to find
.her Il suitable parti.
"Why are YOU so silent and thought

voice.

Ivan entered. and with ecs<atfc
grins announced in Russian that sup
per was ready. What a delight to
meet some one he could address in his
native tongue!
In spite of Mariaane's secret misgiv.
ings and doleful prophecies to Desiree,
the supper was excellent. The table
was charmingly arranged as usual, and
it contained one unusual adornment
a glass of flowers and sprays from the
garden, arranged with great taste by
DeSiree. Hilmar took a carnatior
from the glass and placed it in his but
ton-hole. At table he showed himself
wonderful raconteur. His descrip-
tions of the elegant circles of the Rus
sian capital and of the musical and ar
tistic life there were enhancing.
Desiree listened in rapt attention, but
said little.
Later, the guest at Marianne's re-
quest, sang some more songs. As he
rose to Withdraw, Desiree asked:
is it difiicult-this Russian Ian
guage?"

does not apply to both Mr.. Smith and
MIR. Halstead, but to the latter, who
alone is the man who has announced
that he never got the letter.
But the second sentence contains the
more important part of the statement.
1t virtually admits the gist of the al
legged letter that the nomination of
Blaine is not the sine qua non. This
time three years ago Mr.. Reid would
not tolerate any other possibility but
the nomination of Blaine. But now
that his wife has been mustered in
among the daughters-in-law of Ohio

"Arnim, dear old friendr'
Marianne gazed in surprise at her
cousin, and seemed displeased at his
late return. But Papillon grasped his
arm and cried, excitedly: You are
here at last, uncle! We thought YOU
had got lost in the forest" Then she
gazed at him with glowing face, and
burst into tears.
This remarkably tender reception
pleased and touched him. 81 believe

One evening the doctor came home
later than usual from his walk. The

to hear a mans voice say:

A tall, slender figure seated itself be-

did not divert Marianne from her
crochet-work. She sat at the round !

SOMEWHAT PATHETIC.
Speeches OF Stalwart Republican Leader
at the Late Boston banquet and TheI
Milk-and- Water Complexion.

At the Late Boston banquet and Their
Mllk-and- Water Complexion
There was something at once comic
and pathetic in the Republican BAN
quet which was served up in Boston.
Distinguished Republicans from out
side the State had been invited, but
with remarkable unanimity they all
declined to attend. This threw the
burden of speechmaking upon Senators
Dawes and Hoar. and they improved it
to most wearisome length. We can
conceive of no more heartless use of a
banquet than to entice several hundred
men to it, and then to turn loose upon
them two such 1ugubrious orators as
Dawes and Hoar. They both stood up
and said at great length the same
things that they had been saying with
more or less fullness for the past five
or ten years. There was not ray of
freshness or a CLEAN of new idea in
either speech from beginning to end.
The quality of Mr.. Dawes speech can
be inferred by the following sample
from his Introductory remarks: THE
atmosphere we are breathing here to-
day is so surcharged with genuine Re
publicanism that there can be little
need of either tonics or stimulants.
The spirit of the olden time is upon us
again. The cause is again, as of old,
paramount, and the individual subor-
dinate. l congratulate the Republican
party of Massachusetts, so largely
represented here to-day, upon the har-
mony and earnestness everywhere
manifest-sure precursors of success"
Mr.. Hoar's speech was in the same
line, as the following familiar passage
will show: The Democratic party
represents and is controlled by the
opinions and purposes as they are to-
day of the men who twenty years ago
thought rebellion, secession and slavery
were right, and the Republican party
represents and is controlled by the
opinions and purposes as they are to-
day of the men who twenty years ago
thought rebellion, secession and slave
ry were wrong" After an hour or
more of this kind of oratory, other
brief speeches were made, and then
Mr.. Henry Cabot Lodge. with the late
untOward result in Rhode Island in
mind, quoted with depressing effect:
1 hold it truth with him who sings,
To one clear harp in divers tones,
That men may rise on stepping stones
OF their dead selves to higher things
This confession that the party was
dead was received in silence, and Mr.
Lodge went on to explain that its
death was merely seeming, that it has
suffered disaster chiefly because of the
''petty personal dislike which is shown
towards candidates. Mr.. Lodges |
of the party's dead self
is not high principle, but loyalty to the
no matter what his charac-
ter. He is going to help the party to
rise to ''higher things by re-electing
Governor Ames next fall, and by wag-
ing unrelenting war upon all indie
pendents and reformers of whatever |
name or character.-M Y Post.
